beyond irked! current phone (orange) contract about to end so ordered my shiny new (vodafone) phone which arrived on Friday.
requested the code to keep my original number in new phone, so I came to set it up, got so far and it said the new 'SIM' was invalid, I tried the helpline number but was told there was 60 minute backlog of calls, put on hold and had some hideous weirdly distorted music blasted at me, clearly designed to pierce my eardrums and make me hang up and never phone again!
I tried again with renewed determination and vigour, surely it couldnt be that hard?! same message came up .... I thought I would try my old SIM (to see if it was the phone or the SIM that was faulty) and it worked!!
Soo, yesterday I took my '2 phones' to the carphone warehouse to see if they would do the necessaries and make my new one do what it was supposed to and was told I had probably 'locked' shiny new phone to old contract by inserting the old SIM, my phone would probably explode and my husbands balls would be infested with the fleas of a thousand donkeys and I would have to PAY to have it unlocked!!
I'm disproportionately stressed about this (had my gall bladder out on Tuesday so feeling a bit fragile and weak) and whilst perhaps not seriously considering the dirty protest, or taking the man from CPW onto 'Judge Rinder' as my 10 year old dS haughtily informed him I would! Im refusing to bloody pay to unlock my phone .... what shall I do?
